Question

For Gabon , small country in africa, research the main forms of trade and “development”. What is imported and what is exported? Where does the money in the country come from? How do those factors cause social classes in the country?

Now, thinking of “development” and “industrialization” and all that means, apply what we have learned about global warming to the economy of the country you are researching. What kind of energy sources does it use, and how much greenhouse gas does it release as a consequence? How does its import or export economy contribute to greenhouse gasses? (remember, first world countries import huge amounts of goods – which will contribute to global warming in various ways)

-If you are doing a “less developed country”, what kinds of projects are the first world countries helping build in that country? Are these projects that will add to greenhouse gasses or not add to them?

– If you are doing the USA, what kinds of things is our government doing here to reduce greenhouse gasses? Given the desire of first world Americans to live a high lifestyle, how much effect will these programs and policies have on our own greenhouse gas emissions?
